Note: If you see the first word highlighted, it is because the previous verse ended with a ?

Great post!

Now, how do we save this for future reference? One thing to do is save it in favorites, but is there a way to tag posts within the forum itself?

If you look at my last post on the Search Question thread, you'll find an attached ASE query that you can download and run (in case you're interested, that is!)

Hope this helps.

Hi

I am attaching a file (ASE) for finding all questions. Double click on the "Cross vs." option once the ASE is up.

Hope this is helpful.

That's right. I built a more complex ASE search because I wasn't turning on the "Cross vs." option in the original example. Thanks for pointing it out. If you get rid of one of the subqueries in my original query you will be fine (and I like the highlighting better) ;)

Best,

I would like to do a similar search but across two versions (WTM and, say, NIV). How can I find any verse which has

(1) a question mark in an English translation
and
(2) the Hebrew article (WTM: H@Pa*)?

Any qf-help would be really appreciated.

Attached is an ASE query.

This query finds everywhere there is a '?' in the NIV and an interrogative particle in the WTM.

In other words it looks for a '?' in the NIV and a Particle Interrogative in the WTM (h*Pg) rather than Pa.

If you prefer Pa over Pg just open the WTM word box and change the codes, then rerun the query. It would probably be a good idea to run it both ways or with the codes *P{ga} to grab all of them.

Hope this helps.

I ran the search command for the NLT, but when I got the list, for some reason, the search omitted Gen 3:9. I ran it several times and got the same result. Why is Gen 3:9 not included since it too is a question?

Because in the Hebrew, the question isn't indicated by the interrogative particle h but by the interrogative particle yae, so perhaps the search should have a wildcard for any interrogative particle?

Actually, you need to search for interrogative pronouns [.*@pq* and .*%pq*] and interrogative particles [.*@Pg* and .*%Pg*]. The '@' is for Hebrew, and the '%' is for Aramaic.

I ran the ase again, this time for the NIV and the answer if flat out wrong. It does ot include Gen. 3:9 Why is this? If it is wrong here, how do you know that it isn't wrong in other areas?

I want to do this strictly with English ? and no other languages. Is this possible?

I'm not sure exactly which query you are running so try this one, it picks up questions including the one in Gen 3:9 in NIV

Thank you, but on the status line, it doesn't not list the number of hits, onlly the number of verses.

Thank you, but on the status line, it doesn't not list the number of hits, onlly the number of verses.

After you've run the search go to the top menu "Search" and then open "Detailed Statistics Window" That will give 3197 total hits.
